We have lots of quires about changing conservatory roofs into solid roofs with 'Equinox' being one of the main suppliers (there are many more manufactures who do similar systems). This was the conversation I had with the Safe local trades owner to clarify the situation the best I could.

This topic was highlighted in my last project and I feel it is important to highlight the issues. More and more projects are using underfloor heating as the main source of heating for their dwelling. This is great and it really is a lovely property which has underfloor heating. However there is some really important grey areas (at the moment) regarding expansion!

Brian was a very close friend as well as a great old fashioned style Architect which helped us design most of the projects seen on this website. He will be dearly missed by me and my team. Unfortunately moving forward, there is a lack of local old fashioned Architects and they are being replaced with Designer's which most do not have anywhere near the level of qualifications or knowledge! This is also the reason for the number of projects I am receiving without any information on the plans (building regulations/structural engineer drawings) which makes it impossible to price accurately. Please see ' Extension ' page on my website to read more about this subject. We are pleased to inform you that we do have a new style team which we recommend for our projects and the designer is award winning! Janice Kendrick (JKD) is a fabulous designer with the added bonus of her partner (Alistair Reed) being able to complete the full building regulation specification and structural calculations for her projects. Alistair was one of the top building control officers for Peterborough city council for many years which is invaluable to any building project. We also like John Hartley (J Hartley Architecture) who is very much like how Brian Bovis worked on his drawings and specifications. You can find both Architects/designers on my ' Clients & Colleague ' webpage or contact me direct for there details.
